You are seeing a "Java exception" list, or a report on how the Java in the web page can not be interpreted by Netscape. Try changing your browser to IE or Safari and see if the problematic web pages will run. I bet that the page is serving some Java that is written to Microsoft Java specs, and not to Sun's Java specs. I'm not running OS X, so while I do not have experience with your particular system, I see similar errors under OS 9.1 in various browsers. In the past, Netscape ran its own internal Java, while IE ran the Java installed on the Mac (MRJ -- Macintosh Runtime Java, or Java virtual machine). If that is still true under OS X, then it is not surprising that your reloading Java onto the Mac would not make the problematic web page work in Netscape. Netscape would still be relying on its own Java virtual machine. Some web pages will not run at all in Netscape. Some will show blank pages. Some show content, but will not run buttons or forms. I see the same sometimes in Internet Explorer. When a page does not run in IE, sometimes they say I need a newer version of IE, or I need IE under Windows OS. Chalk it up to really lazy programmers, and to Microsoft's monopoly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Roger S.
